Chapter 206 Are you hiding something from me?

Upon hearing this, the village head Zhou Baoyin turned pale.

However, considering Shen Qing's identity, he couldn't get angry, so he quickly waved his hand and asked the people below to do as they were told.

Shen Qing didn't care about these thoughts and walked into Zhou Baoyin's courtyard surrounded by him.

If he was just a little doubtful when he was killing the wolf demon.

Then the fact that Zhou Baoyin was in a hurry to send him away just now almost made him conclude that Zhou Baoyin must be hiding something from him.

Up to now, Liu Sangui has not shown up and has not left even a trace, which makes him have an even worse premonition.

There is a high probability that Liu Sangui was murdered.

Although he thought this in his heart, Shen Qing's face did not show any emotion and he remained calm.

Changqiao Town is located at the foot of the mountain and by the river. Except for a river port, it is not very convenient for external communication.

To some extent, it is like gathering a dozen Hongshan villages together.

old.

There are many thatched huts, which are cramped and depressing.

But when you enter Zhou Baoyin's house, the scene is completely different.

As soon as you enter, the elegant and luxurious atmosphere of a wealthy family hits you in the face.

The bluestone path was kept spotless, and the flower beds on both sides were full of flowers.

Whenever the breeze blows, the refreshing fragrance becomes stronger, making people feel relaxed and happy.

The eaves of the main hall are raised, and at first glance, famous calligraphy and paintings are hung on the front wall of the room. The ink-drenched paintings show the magnificent mountains and rivers, flowers, birds, fish and insects in great detail.

Everything around creates a strong sense of disconnection from the overall appearance of Changqiao Town.

Shen Qing put his thoughts aside and walked into the main hall side by side with Zhou Baoyin.

As soon as he entered the house, the servants brought hot meals to the table one after another.

It's steaming hot, fragrant and mouth-watering.

Zhou Baoyin, who was following behind him, stepped forward quickly and said enthusiastically, "Sir Shen, it is a great honor for me to have you visit my humble abode! Although the dishes prepared by the kitchen are not delicacies from land and sea, they are also the best dishes that the family can offer. I hope you will not dislike them."

Shen Qing heard this and said with a smile: "You are so polite, Li Zheng. I have never tasted the authentic dishes here. Today is a good opportunity for me to try them."

"Officer Shen, please come this way!"

The village head Zhou Baoyin invited Shen Qing to sit in the VIP seat, while he himself sat in the main seat.

It was already past noon.

If you calculate carefully, it should be around the end of the Wei hour and the beginning of the Shen hour.

It was obviously past dinner time at this point.

Shen Qing was not hungry, but as a martial artist he already consumed a lot of energy.

After more than half an hour, there was a lot of space in his stomach, so he could eat a little.

The sun was at its hottest, and the blazing sunlight shone in, illuminating the walls.

Zhou Baoyin personally filled a glass of fine wine for Shen Qing and raised his glass, saying, "Sir Shen, this glass is for you. Thank you for getting rid of the evil wolf monster in our Changqiao Town and keeping the area peaceful. Please!"

Shen Qing also raised his glass and said loudly: "You are too kind, village head. It is our duty to eliminate demons and defend the way of justice."

Then he lightly touched it with Zhou Baoyin, making a crisp sound, and they both drank it up in one gulp.

Shen Qing ate the food with big mouthfuls and kept chatting with Zhou Baoyin.

Born as a hunter, he had a good understanding of everything in the mountains and forests. Coupled with his ability in "studying the truth", he made witty remarks at the dinner table, which made Zhou Baoyin marvel again and again.

After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere became more intense.

Zhou Baoyin couldn't help but relax his vigilance.

At this time, Shen Qing got to the point and suddenly asked, "Village Chief, is this the only wolf demon that appeared in your town?"

Zhou Baoyin drunkenly said: "We are in the deep mountains and old forests here, how can we see clearly? Now we can only see that one wolf demon."

Shen Qing asked: "In other words, if I kill the wolf demon now, the demons here will also be eliminated?"

"Of course." "I don't think that's right. Wolves usually live in groups. If this wolf demon is strong among the wolves, there must be a group of wolves following it. If it is weak among the wolves, it means there are stronger wolf demons than it. If it is the former, it's not bad. I believe that with your ability as the village head, you can solve it. If it is the latter, then it will be troublesome."

Shen Qing said meaningfully: "I'm afraid the evil spirits here have not been eradicated at all?"

"What does Officer Shen want?" Zhou Baoyin thought Shen Qing was trying to blackmail him, so he opened his mouth tentatively.

Now he just wants to send Shen Qing away as soon as possible, for free, to avoid any trouble later.

Shen Qing picked up the wine glass, looked into Zhou Baoyin's eyes, and said with a half-smile: "As a clerk of the Weiwu Division, it is my duty to slay demons and exorcise evil spirits. I have to sort all this out, right?"

Zhou Baoyin couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

This police officer is more difficult to deal with than he thought.

"Haha, I understand." Zhou Baoyin said with a smile: "Then how much does Officer Shen want?"

Shen Qing shook his head.

Zhou Baoyin's heart sank, he felt that Shen Qing's appetite was a little too big.

You are just a small clerk, aren't you afraid of being choked to death?
Under Zhou Baoyin's gaze, Shen Qing raised his glass and drank it all, saying, "Money is secondary. I just wonder, Li Zheng, are you hiding something from me?"

Zhou Baoyin's heart tightened, and he pretended to be calm and said, "Sir, you are joking. I am not hiding anything from you."

"Did you kill Liu Sangui?"

Zhou Baoyin's eyes flashed with panic, his wrist trembled, and he tried to calmly say: "I don't understand what Officer Shen is saying."

"You didn't, what about the demon?"

Zhou Baoyin asked, "What does Officer Shen mean?"

"It means exactly what it says." Shen Qing glanced at Zhou Baoyin and said, "Don't you want to say it?"

Swish!
Shen Qing suddenly drew his sword.

With a flash of cold light, Wei Wusi's sword made a whistling sound and accurately crossed Zhou Baoyin's throat.

The originally warm atmosphere in the main hall suddenly turned cold.

"Officer Shen, do you know what you are doing? Killing an official is a serious crime."

For some reason, facing Shen Qing's attack, Zhou Baoyin's irritability was dispelled and he became calm.

Shen Qing's eyes were as cold as ice as he said, "I should ask you this. Lord Lizheng, are you hiding a lot of things from me?"

Zhou Baoyin's tone suddenly turned cold: "Officer Shen, I'm trying to persuade you to stop while you're ahead and not get involved in this mess. If you don't know what's good for you, then you can't blame us."

"Ok?"

boom!
Just as Shen Qing was wondering, there was a dull noise coming from the door, as if a torn sack was thrown heavily to the ground.

"Master Zhou, how could my youngest son die in such an unclear way? Now you have peeled off his skin and left it in the yard. You'd better give me an explanation. Otherwise, don't blame me for not following the original rules."

A strong male voice came from the door.

Shen Qing turned his head and saw a burly werewolf walking in step by step, holding the head of a servant in his hand.

Zhou Baoyin picked up the wine glass and drank it all, saying, "Officer Shen, I told you to quit while you're ahead. Now it seems that you don't understand what I mean."

puff!

Shen Qing shook his wrist, and the force reached the blade.

A flash of cold light flashed across Zhou Baoyin's neck.

Zhou Baoyin's eyes were full of disbelief, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he looked extremely shocked.

He covered his neck with his hands, and blood continued to seep out from between his fingers.

His chest was like a broken bellows, blowing and making a continuous hoarse sound.

"Mr. Lizheng, it seems that you don't understand what I mean either."

Shen Qing stood up with a knife in his hand and slowly looked at the werewolf that came in.

Drops of bright red blood dripped from the tip of the sword in his hand onto the ground, making a rhythmic sound of "pat, pat".
